Published: 2 August 2024
Bukit Batok – known for its greenery and fresh air – is an idyllic estate in Western Singapore. If you are looking for a resale flat in this region, West Edge @ Bukit Batok is due to reach its 5-year minimum occupation period (MOP) this year.
Located at the edge of Bukit Batok West neighbourhood, its remote location could be a blessing in disguise – promising tranquil living with access to supermarkets and schools in the area. Let’s delve further into the fengshui aspects to determine if this could be your ideal home. Read on for our detailed fengshui review of West Edge @ Bukit Batok.
West Edge @ Bukit Batok: Landform Fengshui
Bounded by Bukit Batok Road and Bukit Batok West Avenue 6, West Edge @ Bukit Batok – just around the corner from West Glades @ Bukit Batok – sits on the Western Dragon and belongs to the fengshui formation of “Strong Dragon Rearing its Head”. This fengshui land formation was created as a result of the dragon’s flight being obstructed by Bukit Panjang Hill and Bukit Timah Hill.
This indicates that this land is suitable for public housing or government offices but not so for industrial estates. People with strong characters may consider residing in Bukit Batok, as you shall be able to prosper along with the ‘strong dragon’. In fact, this is a suitable residential area for young and healthy people who are seeking success.
On the other hand, those who are mentally weak might feel oppressed under the influence of the strong-willed and ambitious dragon. Dark colours and metallic furniture should be avoided in the house, while red and bright colours are recommended.
The scenic landscape in Bukit Batok makes it favourable for those in the arts and literary field, while the dragon’s strong ambitions and outstanding capabilities imply great success.
External fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a resale flat.
West Edge @ Bukit Batok may be a distance from its nearest MRT station (2.1km from Bukit Gombak station) but it is conveniently near to amenities such as primary schools, supermarkets, eateries, and the nature park. Also, there are two schools set to be located next to this development. Residents can expect noises and heavier traffic during peak hours.
From a fengshui viewpoint, T- and cross-junction roads are also potential landform obstructions that could bring Sha Qi. Those staying along Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 should take note of this. However, one will not be affected if your home is located on a higher floor.
Surrounding West Edge @ Bukit Batok are high-rise residential buildings (some are currently still under construction). Residents should take note as high-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats or oppression, etc.
Such negative energies can result in increased anxiety and inability to concentrate, which may affect career and academic development. Homeowners that encounter such scenarios may display a pair of guardian lions or Six Emperor Coins emblem to ward off the negative energies. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
Last but not least, there are two Multi-Storey Car Parks (MSCP) within West Edge @ Bukit Batok. Units facing the MSCP directly would be affected if your unit is on the lower storey. This indicates fengshui conflicting forces (煞气) such as noise pollution (噪音) and headlight flashes from moving cars, which could affect daily life and lead to health problems such as insomnia. To counter this, homeowners can consider installing a window blind or curtains.
Internal fengshui considerations

Did you know that the main orientation of your house will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s)? The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

West Edge @ Bukit Batok comprises 10 residential blocks of 1,594 units of 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-room standard flats. These blocks range from 14 to 15 storeys in height. The majority of these MOP resale flats face North/South or Northwest/Southeast, which is ideal in terms of home fengshui in Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063).
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in these upcoming periods, followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have identified some Period 9 Auspicious Homes, as listed below. Do you live in any of these blocks?
While there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone, those residing in a unit that faces Northeast or Southwest may want to consider a fengshui consultation as these directions are not as favourable in the upcoming fengshui periods.
Besides that, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Money is not everything, but without it, you can hardly do anything. For those who are focused on building your wealth, you may want to be more mindful of your wealth position, as well as the shoe shelf, in your home.
The wealth position refers to a place where wealth accumulates. Hence, the space surrounding your wealth position must be kept clean and tidy. There should not be clutter, electrical appliances or sharp objects around or at your wealth position.
There is heavy Sha (煞气) aka negative energies where the shoe shelf is located. Hence, your wealth luck will be affected if your shoe shelf directly faces your wealth position.
Some people unknowingly positioned their shoe shelf at their wealth position. When this happens, their wealth is likely to disperse and one may find that it is difficult to accumulate wealth. Should this happen, it is best to shift the shoe shelf or avoid placing shoes within the rack.
